Key points about Sylomer®
1. Vibration Reduction
Sylomer® is used to mitigate vibrations generated by moving machinery, transportation systems like railways, or other sources. It helps in reducing the transmission of these vibrations to adjacent structures or rooms.
2. Noise Reduction
In addition to vibration isolation, Sylomer® also contributes to noise reduction. By reducing vibrations, it indirectly lowers the noise generated by the vibrating sources.
3. Maintenance Cost Savings
Using Sylomer® in railway applications can lead to significant cost savings in maintenance. By reducing vibrations, it helps extend the lifespan of railway tracks and infrastructure, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
4. Standard and Special Types
Sylomer® is available in ten different standard types, each with specific characteristics and properties. These variations allow for customization to suit different applications and requirements.
Additionally, there is a special type called Sylomer® Fire-retardant, which likely has fire-resistant properties for applications where fire safety is a concern.
5. Material Modification
Sylomer® can be modified to meet specific requirements. This means that its properties can be tailored to suit the unique needs of a particular project or application.
Overall, Sylomer® is a versatile material used for vibration and noise control in various industries. Its ability to reduce vibrations, lower noise levels, and save on maintenance costs makes it a valuable choice for projects where these factors are essential for operational efficiency and comfort.
